Whistle blowing is the confidential disclosure by an individual of any concern encountered in the workplace relating to a perceived wrongdoing. In India, President Pranab Mukherjee assented the Whistleblowers Protection Bill. The new whistleblower law is a significant achievement. Different countries have taken different measures to ensure safety of the whistle blowers. The past has witnessed many corporate scandals and the happening of various incidents with the whistle blowers. This act is a sincere attempt in India to address the problems concerning whistle blowing. Keywords: whistle blower, whistle blowing policy, USA, Ireland, Japan, China
